Unfortunately, in many areas there is an oversupply of elementary ed majors, so there are very few programs specifically for those majors. The feds will help pay back loans if you are willing to teach in an area with a shortage ( some inner cities, very remote/rural areas etc).

Go to www.fasa.gov, and go see your advisor in the elementary education of the university. The financial aid office has all forms. Generally, if you get grants, you may be eligible for scholarships with a good gpa and a financial need. The university has a list of scholarships for the elementary field - there are many - good luck!

If you're in Kentucky and are willing to teach in Eastern Kentucky (aka the middle of nowhere) for a certain period, I know for a fact your loans will be forgiven. Talk to an advisor or one of your professors.

A few years ago if you had student loans and thought in many city schools they forgave so many $$$ per year of teaching.
